Maeve
Working out, making myself beautiful, helping Olivia and joining her in the garden and whatever activities. I also enjoy the Zumba and so on and forth. Then, after that, she taught me how to bake and cook his favorite foods. Damn, I hate him for telling me that he doesn't have a favorite food. His favorite food is Mediterranean and Mexican.
He also eats a lot, so we make food for the boys that are coming over. I understand now that his business associates are all Casanovas. How can I fall in love with one? Yes, I can't even imagine that I fall in love with him so hard. This stupid heart of mine.
Olivia told me to go fix myself. I take a shower, freshen up my face and put the cream that they recommend for me and then I just brush my hair with my fingers and put natural lipstick. I even wore wedge shoes.
I got out and help the maids and then I meet these hunkies. Including Zac that are laughing as they talk about women. I know about it. I heard a little word about the woman that Travis bedded last night and on how it acts.
"Boys, this is my fiancée, Maeve." The boys looked at me from head to toe and they smack Zac. There are two new faces besides Travis and Warren.
"Maeve!" Warren came with big arms and I smiled and let him kiss my cheek and embrace me. I glance at Zac who is looking away with a sour face.
I meet the other two, named Francis, the tallest one and the serious type player, Colt. They do the same and I was surprised when Zac twirl me around and kiss my mouth. I smack him and frown at him.
"How's your day?"
"Fine," I told him coldly.
"Don't be so cold, dear."
"Maybe your friends are hungry," I said.
"I'm hungry!" Francis said. "I never got a chance to eat well because of a horny group of females." I laughed at his good sense of humor.
"You need a lot of calories, big man." Zachary stick with me more, I don't understand why he's becoming possessive. I don't understand why he's keeping me away from the boys. Is it because I got fooled by them? Goodness! I know what they really are. They are womanizers.
They have an extremely bad sense of humor. It's not that bad but it is more of sexual and Zachary who makes me sat on his lap kept doing very serious things like harassing me in front of his friends. I don't like it, so I must push him and make him stop it. His friends started bullying him. Grandma Olivia who just arrived told him to be patient.
They are drinking and asking me sort of things and since I was like a little sister to them, they treat me one. I don't understand why Warren makes me flattered every time and I just go on with the flow. I just hope that he wasn't doing it just to make me fall on him and then leave me after it. But I already love Zachary, still, it was one-sided.
"So, Zac, if you get married and we are your groomsmen, you can no longer join us for drinking and all," Colt said who took another scotch.
"Do you boys always drink every night?" I suddenly ask.
"Just for a few occasions, dear," Francis told.
"When we get along like this and when we are unwinding from work. But women are amazing, don't you think?" Travis wink at me.
"Women are amazing in what way? Because you males could have your release anytime you wanted as long as you have a woman with you?" I ask them frankly and mentally smack my head. However, I didn't take it back. I always say things that make me really embarrassed.
"Why are you good at reading?" Warren asked with shining smiles.
"Because I love reading?" I answer. "I mean, guys tell me that women are your victims."
"They aren't!" they chorus and I hands-up.
"Alright, sorry. So, these women just came to you like raining on you?"
"Exactly!" Colt even pointed me his forefinger with a wink. "It was like raining pussies around." I nodded.
"It isn't right to say the P-word in front of the lady!" Warren scowled at him.
"It's alright, I understand him." I sip on my champagne. The truth is, I don't like to have a man who is predatory. Surely, he might get STD or worst AIDs. "But I don't understand that you boys are still all singles."
"That's because we enjoy the company of being single. Didn't you?" Francis asked with a very seductive smile.
"Well," I thought. I'm single all my life until Zac. "My life was just fine," I said. "Not until this one came." I cock my head to Zac who is beside me, his arms around me.
"How do you put it all together?" Colt asked. "What exactly do you feel being all engaged suddenly?"
"It's crazy," I mutter. "I don't plan all of these. But if it makes Zachary happy and Grandma, I'm fine with it."
"You are?" Zachary asked. I nodded. "You aren't lying right now."
"I'm not a total liar, Zachary, besides I can't lie with all of these hunks, right Warren?" Warren seemed flushed on what I ask.
"Hunks?" Zachary asked.
"What?" I frown at him.
"She's not lying, chippy!" Travis said making Zachary groan. Everyone laughs.
"Don't bring that back, Travis. It makes me really unable to sleep whenever I heard the chippy word." Francis said as he started laughing.
"Chippy?" I ask.
"It's because when we are daring Zac to talk to his crush back then on high school—"
"Don't listen to this." Zachary covers my ears. "Boys, you can now all leave. I'm tired and she's tired as well from preparing the dinner."
Zachary took me until we are in my room. I look at him and he looked really flushed. He started removing his shoes when I speak.
"Please take a shower first. I don't like the smell of strong alcohol." I said as I remove my shoes and put it neatly on the shelves of shoes that Olivia pick for me. I feel him walking toward me.
"Are you really happy?" I sighed. I had decided.
"I'm happy if your grandmother is happy. I'm happy if it will relieve you." I told him directly to his eyes though I couldn't really look at it. "How about you? Are you happy?"
"I guess I am. I guess I am not."
"Then what do you suggest? We could always call off the wedding. It's your call."
"But I want you."
"I feel the same. Can we promise each other that we will make this relationship work?" I wanted to feel hopeful. I wanted to feel that because I badly needed love.
"I promise," he said without hesitating, and he offered his pinky. I smiled and sealed it with mine. "Do you know about the chippy word?" he pulled me and put my hands to his nape as he holds my waist. "It's about when I am too young and in love with this girl, then I wanted to give her my letter but it ended up that I gave her the chippy and she only said thanks then that's when it started. We fall in love when I thought that she is in love, but it turns out that she already had a boyfriend, a college boyfriend and I just got broken-hearted."
"That's really, really annoying," I told him. He frowned. "I wanted to bald that first love of yours. Why? Because she's such a feeler and very much a brat." He laughed at what I said.
"But you also got one." He kissed my nose. I frown at him when I smell that alcohol. I hate it. "Alright, I'm going to take a shower."
We sleep on the same bed with barriers between us. He had fallen asleep when he asked me to gently rub his ear and I did. I had fallen on my own though it's hard to sleep.
3 days later, we go back to the province with Grandma Olivia. My father picked us up and Olivia seemed excited and all. As we pass by in few places, Olivia seemed amazed to see sceneries and on our way to our house, though I feel embarrassed that there are squatters on the way to our house, she was amazed to see a beautiful scenery and rock formations on the beach.
She even brought a lot of delicate and strawberries since the manor where she lives has hectares of strawberries. And Zachary is the CEO of the strawberry company. Olivia bought lots of wine as well and branded whiskey for my father.
They seemed to like her and she didn't even complain about our house and all. My aunt and mother cook a few delicious foods and sweet delicacies. Olivia had chatted with my mom about the wedding and everything will be on her. Since she badly wanted her only grandson to get married.
She even says sorry about the fuss and she will take care of me and she pledged a lot and that she wouldn't let Zachary do bad things to me. Zachary showed sexual affection toward me and bully me sometimes, but I was happy that he's being sweet.
